Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ever since Milo Barker’s incident, Carina Bailey had been on tenterhooks. She had wished she could split herself to be in two places at the same time so that she could keep a close watch on these rascals.
“Miss Bailey. I’m thinking of visiting Ruby after school this afternoon.”
Lauren Torres hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth. “I accidentally overheard your phone conversation just now. Ruby is having an allergy, right?”
Carina Bailey had noticed that Lauren Torres and Ruby Cromwell had been getting along well. There was nothing to hide from her. Thus she nodded.
“Yes, Ruby is having an allergic reaction after eating chocolate. She’s receiving an IV at the hospital now. Her condition is much better now. Don’t worry.”
Lauren Torres patted her chest. “Good to hear this. So can I visit Ruby this afternoon?”
Carina Bailey thought for a moment and did not have the heart to reject Lauren Torres.
She also hoped to have someone as passionate and lively as Lauren Torres by Ruby Cromwell’s side. Perhaps Ruby Cromwell’s personality would also become lively.
“Lauren, how about this? I’ll ask Ruby’s mother if it’s convenient. If it’s convenient, I’ll tell you, okay?”
Lauren Torres nodded.
When school was about to end, Carina Bailey told Lauren Torres that Ruby Cromwell’s mother was happy with Lauren Torres’s visit.
“Really? That’s great. Then I can help Ruby bring over the things that the teacher distributed today.”
When the class ended, Lauren Torres brought the address given by the teacher and went to Ruby Cromwell’s house with Ben Carson.
Susan Harding should have been aware of the visit in advance. So the moment they rang the doorbell, someone opened the door instantly.
Susan Harding looked the same as the last time Lauren Torres saw her. She looked kind and friendly, but she looked haggard. There seemed to be a few strands of white hair on her head.
As it was her first time visiting someone else’s house, Lauren Torres was a little nervous.
Before the visit, Ben Carson had bought a fruit basket from a fruit store.
“Hello, Auntie. I’m Ruby’s classmate. My name is Lauren Torres.”
“Hi, Lauren. You’re the classmate who went to the math class with Ruby, right?”
Lauren Torres nodded.
“Please come in.”
Lauren Torres put on the slippers that Susan Harding had specially prepared for her and went in.
Susan Harding’s house looked very warm and cozy. Everything was neatly arranged. It was obvious that Susan Harding was very diligent in taking care of the house.
There were three rooms and a living room. One of the doors was tightly closed.
Lauren Torres thought that Ruby Cromwell must be in this room.
“Auntie, Ruby should be fine now, right?”
